Have your say

It was certainly not a wasted operation! My wife and I saw the incident. It was a Plane and not a microlight, and gave every indication the craft was in difficulty.

You cant win in this situation, people would have soon been moaning if there had been an accident and it hadnt been reported as they were busy playing Golf. Pretty harsh calling them a bunch of idiots! lets hope you never need anything reporting if your in distress! Its best to be a false alarm than not to be reported at all. Fortunately there wasnt an issue in this case but one day it might be!
